Sunday Driver by Brock Yates

Book Description

For everyone who's ever wanted to know what it's really like to get behind the wheel of a racecar, automotive enthusiast Brock Yates lived the dream, and lived to tell about it. You'll smell the fumes and feel the heat rising from the track as Brock takes the reader through a refresher course at Bob Bondurant's high-performance driving school, then off to Watkins Glen, Michigan Motor Speedway, and across the country on an unsanctioned, hair-raising thirty-six-hour race from New York to Los Angeles. Sunday Driver is the perfect companion for anyone who has felt the need for speed, or just marveled as they watched their favorite driver race around the track at death-defying speed and wondered what it would feel like to be in the driver's seat.

Chronicles one fatal season in the post-war glory years of race car driving. This book contains the story of the dispossessed young men who raced for "the sheer unvarnished hell of it." This book is based on the author's experience and interviews with dozens of surviving racers, widows, car owners, mechanics, and historians.

The story of Harley-Davidson motorcycles and their place in American culture, from outlaw machine to all-American icon. The story rests on the success of the company itself - a small family business turned industry leader, which survived a bankruptcy threat from Japanese competition.
